    So in a stressed condition means they will work slower correct? Because I took sg reading for 2 days in a row. And they looked about the same.

    1.050

    So leave them to work a little bit longer in primary?

    And there is still lees dropping to the bottom of the carboys. Should I wait until a nice cake forms, and it clears a little before racking? Its still pretty cloudy as far as I can tell

    Ok, my understanding is its ok to leave on the d47 lees for quite a while. Is that wrong?

    I dont but I follwed a recipe really closely and it should be around 1.138

    And when should I rack to secondary?

    So the recipie I followed has an original gravity of 1.138. I took a reading last night, it was at 1.050. So that should put me around 11% abv. So might that explain why there isn't a lot of bubbling or foaming in the must? I'm only 6 days in.i have a hard time thinking it might be done already...

    So the sg would've gone up with adding the apple juice as well, correct?
  13. M

    First cyser

    I also used about 1/2 to 3/4 gallon of tree top apple juice in each carboy. It does not have any preservatives or added sugar
  14. M

    First cyser

    Nope, no sugar added.

    And would ot hurt to re pitch some more yeast and put it in there? Or should I give it more time?
